Tretinoin allergy???
I consulted a dermatologist for neck discoloration and the doctor diagnosed me with acanthosis nigricans and was prescribed Tretinoin 0.05 percent on the neck every night for 1 month. I have been using it followed by moisturizer in the morning for the past 20 days and I feel it has a somewhat lightened neck also but at the same time I have got dry skin and a discoloration on some parts which also feels a little scaly and dry. Should I continue with tretinoin or should I leave it completely??
